<h4 class="subsection">11.10.6 C++ Expressions</h4>

<p>This section describes expressions specific to the C and C++ front
ends.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>TYPEID_EXPR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>typeid</code> expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>NEW_EXPR</code></dt>
<dt><code>VEC_NEW_EXPR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a call to <code>new</code> and <code>new[]</code> respectively.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>DELETE_EXPR</code></dt>
<dt><code>VEC_DELETE_EXPR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a call to <code>delete</code> and <code>delete[]</code> respectively.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>MEMBER_REF</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Represents a reference to a member of a class.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>THROW_EXPR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Represents an instance of <code>throw</code> in the program.  Operand 0,
which is the expression to throw, may be <code>NULL_TREE</code>.
</p>

</dd>
<dt><code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR</code></dt>
<dd><p>An <code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR</code> represents the initialization as the return
value of a function call, or as the result of a constructor.  An
<code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR</code> will only appear as a full-expression, or as the
second operand of a <code>TARGET_EXPR</code>.  <code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR</code>s have
a representation similar to that of <code>CALL_EXPR</code>s.  You can use
the <code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR_FN</code> and <code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR_ARG</code> macros to access
the function to call and the arguments to pass.
</p>
<p>If <code>AGGR_INIT_VIA_CTOR_P</code> holds of the <code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR</code>, then
the initialization is via a constructor call.  The address of the
<code>AGGR_INIT_EXPR_SLOT</code> operand, which is always a <code>VAR_DECL</code>,
is taken, and this value replaces the first argument in the argument
list.
</p>
<p>In either case, the expression is void.
</p>
